Charles Dickens Grandmother : The
Source of the Novelist's Gift for Story.
Mr.. t. Wemyss Reid writes in The London
Daily News of the grandmother of Charles
Dickens, repeating what was told him long
ago by the first Lady Houghton. cold Mrs.
Dickens, he says twas not nurse but house
keeper at Crewe in the time of the first Lord
Crewe, the grandfather of the present holder
of the title, and of his sister, the first Lady
Houghton. Iwell remember Lady Houghton
speaking to me with enthusiasm of Mrs.
Dickens wonderful powers as story teller.
1t was her delight as child to listen to the
tales which the old lady was able to relate
with so much dramatic force and feeling and
it was with the greatest interest that, later
in life, Lady Houghton recognized in the
illustrious author of David Copperfield' the
grandson of the favorite of her childhood.
Old Mrs, Dickens had one grievance which
Lady Houghton still recalled when she told
me about her, 1t was the conduct of her son
John-Charles' father-against whose idle
ness and general incapacity she was never
tired Of inveighing. There have been many
conjectures as to the source from which Dick
ems derived his wonderful gift as a story
teller. II is hardly a far fetched fancy to
suppose that he inherited his special gift from
the old housekeeper at Crewen

Queen Henrietta,s signet Rinr.

Among the many jubilee gifts received by
her majesty few are more interesting than
the engraved signet ring of Henrietta Maria,
presented to her by Mr. Drury Fortnum, +.
S. A., the well known antiquary and con-
noisseur. That such ring had been made
for the unfortunate queen was proved by the
entry in the privy seal books of the clerk of
the pells, now in the public record Office
Tradition also pointed to the existence of
such signet ring at later date; it was be-
licved to have been in the possession of Taver-
nier, the well known French diamond mer-
chant, and it was known that ring of the
same description had been in the Earl of
Buchan's collection, where it passed for that
OF Mary Queen of Scots Copies Of it in paste
were extant. AT last it occurred to Mr.. Fort
nun to inquire whether it had by chance
conc into the hands Of the late Duke Of
Brunswick, who, as will he remembered, left
his wonderful collection Of jewels to the town
OF Geneva. There, sure enough hc found il,
anil after a long correspondence he bought
it, and presented it a few weeks ago to Queen

A Wedding Ring Motto.

The word Migpah is of Hebrew origin, and,
literally translated means beacon, or watch
tower. From this it lpls come to mean the
memorial or reminder of n covenant Tho
earliest mention we have of this word in the
Bible is when Laban, pursuing the fleeing
JabOb, finds and becomes reconcilcd to him,
and the heap Of ston-s piled up by them both
on Mount Gilead served double purpose
as witness to the covenant between these ryvp
and as landmark of the boundary between
them. I4aban called the place Mizpah; for.
said he, the Lord watch between thee and mo
when we are absent from one another. The
word Mi2pah is frequently, in the significa-
tion thus expressed by l.aban, engraved in
engagement or wedding rings, both as a
token of the covenant and as prayer that
the watch angels of God will hover over the
